Smörgåstårta

Smörgåstårta is a Swedish layer cake consisting of sandwiches: slices of white or rye bread, toppings, and fillings, frosted with cream cheese, mayonnaise, yogurt, or a combination, and garnished with various vegetables. Traditionally, smörgåstårta follows the smörgåsbord all-in principle: caviar, pâté, cold cuts, shrimp, smoked salmon, cheese, eggs, vegetables, only some of it or all of it together, there are virtually no limits. This Swedish staple is ideal for parties and celebrations, visually reminiscent of a cake, but with the flavors of a really filling sandwich. The cake is also popular in Estonia and Finland. Interestingly, it has been found out that some of the policemen in Sweden asked for smörgåstårta as a bribe, acting as further proof of the cake's enormous popularity.
